Hi, In addition to the URLs you used below, I found a simpler way to browse the network from the desktop. I edited the Desktop "Network" icon to use the URL "lan:/" -- it works for me. Regards, Rocky
Update... remote working on my father's home network we discovered the following:
smb:/ gives Internal error smb:// gives file:/ (root dir) smb:/jimw gives eternal loop smb://jimw gives eternal loop smb://jimw/ gives all shares on machine jimw smb:/jimw/C$ gives eternal loop smb://jimw/C$ gives contents of disk C
Additionally, we had a hard time getting this to work, at the end, we mounted a share with mount -t smbfs -o username=jimw,passwd=xxxx //jimw/vnc /mnt/jimw/vnc
and then all of a sudden things started working...
Maybe this stuff will help someone figure out whats going on...
